Derek McGowan discusses the Federal Reserve's recent rate cut, emphasizing that markets had already priced the cut so mortgage rates didn't immediately fall. He highlights the Fed's shifted view that payroll job gains have been overstated (speaker cites ~60,000/month overstatement) and that, adjusted, the Fed believes the economy may be losing about 20,000 jobs per month. McGowan also relays the Fed's comment that tariffs have pushed inflation above the 2% target, and he advises prospective home buyers to act now before improved data drives mortgage rates lower.
